International Students  |  Access and Funding

Some students are Canadian born or have adopted Canadian citizenship, while others are permanent residents, children of temporary foreign workers, refugees or students who have come to Canada specifically to study.

Given this diversity, it can be difficult for Alberta schools and school boards to know:

• when they are obliged to admit a student
• when a student will be funded by Alberta Education
• how to correctly code a student

The FAQs document (available in English and French) provides answers to the most frequently asked questions educational professionals have regarding access, funding and coding of international students in grades 1 to 12 in Alberta.
